MORE FABULOUS VINTAGE WEBSITES, FINDS, ETC. FROM EVERYTHING CROTON

So much to show you today.

You've seen this very rare and early warehouse toy before--but it was worth pulling out again. Featured in a previous auction at Croton's own SeriousToyz, it has all the bells and whistles: great graphics, accessories and size. Made by Reed in 1895, Reed, 16" tall, litho paper over wood; working doors & pulley, has original accessories
with hooks for loading & unloading, complete! So remember, if you have serious stuff...check out serioustoyz.com today.

It's followed by a gorgeous 1946 Wurlitzer jukebox, courtesy of our friend Frank.

And finally the 2014 French tinsel tree putz village in the formal living room--featuring cathedral by Howard Lamey and the blue castle--a repro of one made in the 30's, only blue and gold instead, by Karl Fey, and handmade Marie Antoinette ornaments made from new and vintage ephemera and components. The little French couples are vintage made in Japan (one was a gift from a friend), and the die-cut is new, as is the enamel and rhinestone ship--which is a actually a pillbox.Click on the photos.

And coming to Morphy's: Our January 31 & February 1, 2015 auction has shaped up to be one of
the finest offerings we have had the pleasure to present. Being able
to bring so many fine guns to the market is exciting. Offered will be
some real rarities from a Civil War Berdan Sharps Rifle to a documented
Vietnam Remington Model 40 Sniper. Including some fantastic
Presentation Colts to a vast array of High condition and deluxe Lever
Guns, and everything in between, this two day auction should be a must
on just about every collectors calendar.http://www.morphyauctions.com/auctions/view/01312015-02012015-FIREARMS
